“[Pauly D] makes at least $500,000 a month,” an insider tells Life & Style. Pauly D is seeing big dollar signs with DJ gigs, endorsement deals, and his own spin-off TV series. He is also reportedly in talks with 50 Cent to sign with the rapper’s record label, G-Unit, and in the running to make a guest appearance on pop princess Britney Spears’ Femme Fatale tour.

But possibly the most lucrative job of all? Pauly’s one of the nation’s most in-demand DJs right now. “That alone commands up to $40,000 per set, and he does three to six gigs per week,” the insider says.

His list of endorsements includes a Miracle Whip commercial, a line of personalized greeting cards, his own iPad application and a partnership in the Dirty Couture clothing line.
